I don't trust the cloud, so I self host everything. Internet facing: 1. Custom SMTP Mail Server. Does specific filtering and anti-spam (using SpamAssassin) 2. Various Websites, both personal and professional: - http://www.Jaruzel.com (personal bits and bobs) - http://www.MattOwen.com (.net, .org, .co.uk) - https://www.weegeeks.com (rss reader app) - http://www.fuzzybuttons.com (small webshop, self written e-commerce…

You're not the first to mention Gopher. I'm curious what you use it for?

Hosting old forgotten files mainly. Some people actually blog with it (phlogs).

In a similar thread 8 months ago I broke down my self-hosting infrastructure : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15106197 Since then I have added a few things, partly from that thread. The big things were hosting Sandstorm.io, which is a complete self-hosted google-apps/office365 type setup that is very easy to use and has great functionality. My entire family uses it for a variety of things that we used to use in…

You mentioned Minetest back then. I had a look at it recently and it seemed like it's not that much fun without mobs. Could you describe your Minetest setup in more detail? I'm sure it can be used to get more fun of it than I managed to.

Thanks! It's just a tad before my time so I've never been exposed to it before. Will read up on it.

I would like to self host a few things, but my ISP uses CGNAT. And to get static IP I have to get SME plan and separate static ip addon pack. SME plans are costly and have lower speeds.

You could try Kimsufi or Hetzner to get some cheap VPS or Dedicated Baremetal to host on. Selfhosted doesn't only mean hosting on private premises, the core idea is rather (IMO) to host it on hardware you paid for no matter where it is.

I self-host a few things on a cloud instance, and some other on a Raspberry-pi at my home.

On the cloud instance:

- Tinc VPN

- FTP and a postgres server

- NextCloud - For storing files

- ZNC - IRC Bouncer

- Lounge - IRC client

- Prometheus - TSDB for aggregating emtrics

- Grafana - For displaying the above metrics

- Cloudtorrent - A nifty app when I don't want to download torrents on my machine.

- Monica - An app for managing personal relationships, as I'm really bad with remembering people.

- Cloud9 for a web-IDE.

- Gitea - for mirroring some git repositories.

- FreshRSS - RSS Reader

- Some personal projects

- Traefik - the webserver I use for all these services.

- HAProxy - To proxy traffic from a virtual IP to the raspberry PI at my home.

The rPi is connected to the cloud-server over over tinc VPN. It hosts things which are related to my media:

- Traefik - webserver

- Prometheus - for monitoring purposes.

- Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett - for downloading some TV shows and movies

- Transmission - torrent client

- Ubooquity - for hosting comic books

- Kodi - for browsing/playing media.
